Define the properties of the time field. The variable field will get the value from the

computer’s clock.

Format: Select the format for the time from the list. You can also enter a custom format.

Time Offset: The time offset settings allow the time field to be offset from the system clock.

Enter the duration for which you wish to increase or decrease the time on the label.

Preview: The printer will print the time as shown in the Preview field. This will allow you to

see how the selected date format will look on the label.

Use the printer’s internal clock: Enable this option to recall the time information from the Real

Time Clock (RTC) built in to the printer not the clock from the computer. The list of available

time formats changes accordingly to the capabilities of the selected printer.

Note • You must format the current text object in an internal printer font to be able to use the

printer’s internal clock option.
